LET NOTHING YOU DISMAY (World Premiere Comedy)
By Topher Payne
It’s
Christmas, and Kevin and Allie are about to become parents- they're just
waiting for a phone call. And though they've asked their families to keep
their distance until they bring the baby home, of course no one keeps their
distance. Kevin’s father visits with his much-younger wife and their extended
clan, followed by Kevin’s mother with her veterinarian, her upstairs neighbor,
and her favorite author, and then Allie’s family invades, including her
ultra-competitive sister, her Bubbie, and Bubbie’s gentleman friend. Eight
actors play twenty-two characters in this lightning-paced holiday farce that
celebrates families of all kinds, and reminds us we're all more alike than we
realize.
